Collider Has Seen the 24 Season 8 4-hour Premiere Event

by Ben Begley    Posted: January 16th, 2010 at 9:09 am

I am a huge 24 fan and have been since the very beginning of the series.  We’ve gone through some good times and some bad times together, as well as some embarrassing times.  From presidential assassinations, bio-threats, and nuclear bombs blowing up in Valencia; to the infamous cougar lurking in the woods, Teri Bauer’s amnesia, and basically anything involving Kim Bauer.  24 is by no means a perfect show, but what it usually delivers on is action packed seasons and cliffhangers at the end of each episode.  Season 8, which starts with a 4-hour premiere tomorrow night, has a lot to live up to after last year’s non-stop insanely good season.  Some critics would disagree, but I thought season 7 was pure 24 gold.  Although the premiere isn’t as intense as I had hoped, some great new elements have been introduced.  And let’s just say Renee Walker returns with a vengeance!  More after the jump.

Freddie Prinze Jr. Will Join Jack Bauer on the Next Season of 24

Freddie Prinze Jr. is back baby.  The legendary husband of the even-more legendary Sarah Michelle Gellar has snagged himself a plum role on the eighth (and final?) season of Fox’s “24″.  According to The Hollywood Reporter, Prinze will play Davis Cole – the field ops leader at the newly reconstituted CTU.  Cole wants to follow in Jack Bauer’s footsteps, which means he must suffer an untimely and highly emotional death.  Someone should really introduce this Cole to a guy named Chase – the former CTU field agent who harbored a similar Bauer-worship until his hero sawed off his hand.  Freedom ain’t free people.

Day eight of “24″ began filming this Wednesday with several other full-time and recurring cast members added, including Amil Kapoor as a Middle Eastern leader, Chris Diamantopoulos as the president’s new chief of staff and Jennifer Westfeldt as a journalist.  Telling you these actor’s names is probably a fool’s errand, though.  The shelf life for new “24″ cast members is about 18 hours max.
